ilovedogs Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I am looking for a doctor or alternative doc who works with patients testing for Pandas, etc. My son has had tics for 5 years but has had on and off anxiety issues including OCD. He also has a diagnosis of ADHD and has some learning disabilities. We have no hereditary Tourettes on either side of the family so I am thinking of finally following through and working on trying new things to help his tics. They have gotten much worse now that he's going through puberty. I live in North Phoenix and am unfamiliar with what is available out there. Thanks!

peglem Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 How old is your son? There is an excellent pediatrician @ 108th ave. and Indianschool- really excellent- I'd go as far as Flagstaff or Tucson to see him! That practice doesn't take kids over 14, though. But, we also have a neurologist in East Mesa who sees all the PANDAS patients here. I'll get the attention of the support group leaders over here to help also- as they may know more in your area.

peglem Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Okay, I left a message on the local support group's facebook page- its private only, but I know at least one of the leaders is on this sight as well, so they should be here soon.
